Exploring Nature With Mixed Media NEW!

Learn how to bring nature indoors through the wonder of mixed-media creation and spark a lifelong new hobby! If you are already proficient in acrylic, watercolor, and colored pencil techniques, this course will increase your nature-focused creativity in compositions of two or more techniques, including techniques unique to mixed media. Nature explorations will include mountains, water, forests, birds and other animals, as well as flowers, the night sky, our imaginations, and more. Learning occurs through watch-on-your-own-schedule online videos and text, with questions and discussion via email and optional Zooms. The content of the course is entirely online. Materials are inexpensive, and you can always just listen and learn without practicing. Work will not be critiqued or shared. This is not a skills-building art class, but instead is focused on building nature immersion and interaction through play and creativity. Mixed media takes the nature-enjoyment journey to an entirely new level! NOTE: The companion-class, Exploring Nature with Paint and Colored Pencils, provides instruction in the three media that are prerequisites to completing the projects in this class. Two optional Zooms allow discussion and socializing in a safe, no-recording environment. Zoomers must maintain live video throughout.
